Swords aud RcvOtvers.
London Standard.

Although as far back as the civil
war in the United States, il was proved
beyond doubt that cavalry armed with
swords had not the remotest chance OF
success against those armed with re-
volvers, and although almost every na-
ton in Europe arms its cavalry with
the latter weapon, the English War
Office. with even more than IL susual in
aptitude end obstinacy, refuses to fur
nish our cavalry with this weapon. The
revolver is weapon requiring much
practice to be of value, but in
the hands OF one who has mas
tered its use it is terrible
wearon. A cowboy of New Mexico is
not regarded as a good shot except when
riding at full speed along line OF tele-
graph poles he can puta ball into each
as he passes it and the result is that,
although the Indians consider them
selves as more than a match for tho
regular cavalry, they will fly before a
party of cowboys, even il they outnum-
ber them many times, while hundred
cowboys would rightly consider them
selves as q match for a whole regiment
of regular cavalry. The sword was an
admirable weapon in the old days, but
a soldier armed with only a sword
might be as we'll unarmed altogether
were he to meet one armed with re-
volyer who WAS an adept in its use.

W. s. Richards, Q slim yonng man,
twenty-five years old, boarded the Red
Star steamer Westerland at Antwerp on
August I'd, the day she sailed, as first
class passenger for this city. EARLY on
Monday evening the young passenger
jumped overheard and was drowned.
He impressed the other cabin passen-
gers by his politeness and evident cul-
ture.
He joined in the game Of poker in
the smoking-saloon right after the
steamer started from Antwerp. and IL
was noticed that he steadily lost. Then
he began to drink heavily, and, while
under the influence Of liquor, conhded
TO the steamer barber that he was the
eon of . rich banker in Paris. When
the voyage was half done he stopped
playing, and the poker party assumed
that he had lost oil his money. He
continued to drink more than was good
for him, and was so much under tho in.
fluence OF liquor on Monday night that
Captain Randall ordered him TO leave
the supper table. He obeyed without
protest
Tuesday morning he loitsrsd for somo
time near the rail, and then throwing
open his waistcoat sprsng over the side.
The steamer was stopped and u boat
rowed about for an hour in an unavail-
ing search for the body.
No one called yesterday at the steam
er to ask for Richards. He had been
living in Paris for some time with his
father and mother. II was said on tho
steamer that his father was connected
with the banking-ho OF John Non
roe & Co., OF Paris.

There was a shoot'ng-match near the

ginning at A o'clock, between the
East and West-End Clubs-two organ
izatious composed Of the crack shots Of

suit OF challenge from the West to
the East-End Club. The sportsmen of
the city we're present ill quite goodly
numbers.
1t WIS intended that there should be
fifteen men on a side and that each
man should have chances at ten glass

one club cord only muster twelve

one less. Asv..'l be seen from the ap-

Mr.. Eangs's Company and Russia.

Miss Behrens's play, Russia. was
produced for the second time at the
Theatre last night, and was received
with increased favor. 1t is full OF capi-
tai clima1es, and the story is unwoyen
with good effect. The interest which
arises at the beginning is maintained
to the end without tagging. Playing
to quite large house and to people
liberal in applause put the company on
their metal, and the acting was very
sprigbtly. Mr.. Bangs, MIR. Ambrose,
and Miss Behrens were all called be-
fore the curtain.
Atthis day, when Russia and Russian
topics are everywhere receiving marked
attention, it viii be strange il play
having such good points as this does
not succeed, especially rs it allows the
introduction OF brilliant scenic effects.
The costuming last night was very
nice the dressing OF some Of the ladies
indeed was grand.
The performance was for the benefit
OF the Elks, and they must have real
lied handsome sum from the tickets
they sold.

VETERAN OF THE MEXICAN WAR
Lincoln, JEFF. Davis, ana
Others.

One OF the cases on the Police Court
docket yesterday morning was that of
Randolph Alexander, charged with va
grancy and trespassing on the pre-
mises Of the Byrd.Street station.
When Sergeant Thomas, crier of the
court, called the case an old man, de-
crepit, careworn, and seedy, with un-
combed white locks hanging about his
head, long chin-whiskers, poorly
dressed, and with a slouch hat came
limping ont of the prisoners pen, took
his stand in front Of Justice Richard
son, and said, My name is Cornelius
Alexander, if you please" "
Sergeant Seal stated tothe Court that
be was called on Wednesday afternoon
by Major Myers to remove the old man
from the station, where he was
very dlsorderly and creating a great
disturbance. lie arrested him on the
charge of being a vagrant.
In response to questions propounded
by Justice Richardson. the old man
said that he was native OF Ireland,
was a graduate Of law, and practiced
in the courts Of England and Ireland
until he was forced to give up practice
on account of i'll health. He came to
this country in 1929, lived for some
years in Quebec, then located in Ala
bama, fought through the Mexican war
under Winfield Scott, and was also in
the Confederate army, private in the
Fifth Louisiana brigade, and was
wounded at the battle of Shiloh.
He talked Of Ex-Governor Joe Brown,
of Georgia, Abraham Lincoln, Jefl.
Davis, Henry Clay, and others, as
though he knew them intimately. He
said he was eighty-seven years old,
having been born in 1900, and his con-
versation bore testimony that he had
seen better days. He said he was on
his way to Washington TO see man
who owed him a sum of money.
Justice Richardson handed him n dol
lar and told him he might go. He re-
ceived the money with gratitude beam
ing Ill his eyes and left the courtroom
with smile on his face.

Particulars Concerning the Recent Elec.
tion Of Kesper-A Financial tx.
hibit- Personal, &c.

The following is a copy OF Mr..
De Priests application for appointment
as keeper of the New-Reservoir Park
RICHMOND, August IL, 1887.
To the Committee on Grounds and
Buiidings:
Geptlemen.-Eaving learned that
keeper for the New Reservoir Park is to
be elected by your committee, | re-
spectfully apply for the position.
Respectfully.
CLINTON DE PRIEST.
THE FIRST MOVE.
There had been no general talk about
The election of q keeper before the
meeting at which this paper was pre-
sented, and the subject was broached
bv Captain Pizzini when it was found
the Council had appropriated 81, COO for
the park. lie moved that the commit
tee 60 into the election OF park
keeper. The motion was carried, and
after Mr.. De Priest was elected Mr.
Sowell was chosen as his assistant.
COST.
The New reservoir and adjoining
park now cost the city for attendance a
great deal of money.
In the first place, Dir. Calder (who is
not affected at all by Mr.. De Priest 5
eleciion) receives s71 monthly from
the Water Committee for acting as
keeper Of the reservoir; the Grounds
and Buildings Committee pay him $40
more for work done on the reservoir
grounds he is also paid SO for keeping
a hose for his own use, and he is fur
nished with fuel and house to live in.
Next comes Mr.. De Priest, who receives
regular policeman's pay, $3.50. and his
assistant, Mr.. Sowell chad he not de-
clined the position after election),
would receive Si5 month.
APPROPRIATIONS.
The reservoir grounds are badly in
need of improvements. No appropria-
ton was made on this account the first
of the year, and the Grounds and
Buildings Committee asked for $4,000
recently. Only $1,000 was obtained,
however, and this was appropriated to
be o1ponded under the direction OF the
committee on the grounds attached TO
the NeU rcserUOir.
Mr.. De Iiiest expects to draw his
salary out of this appropriation.
QUERY.
1t is expected that at the next meet
ing Of the Board of Aldermen Mr..
Crenshaw viii offer resolution inqui-
ring by what authority the Committee
on Grounds and Buildings appointed
MIR, De Priest keeper Of tie park.
THE PAST.
The election OF keepers in the past
has been governed by the exigencies of
the times.
Colonel Cutshaw, City Engineer, is
superintendent of all grounds and
buildings, and all park keepers are un-
der his authority. AS parks have been
created keepers have been elected for
them, but there is no special legislation
in regard to their appointment.
